Here’s a little more work I’ve done. I need to rip off the sides from around the flak gun and make them a little taller. The 105mm cannon is from Broncos 10.5cm LEFH18(SF) AUF GESCHUTZWAGEN 39H(F).

Hello

I have the 'Two Axle Pilot Car' assembled, and have started on the paintjob. I can see I need to tweak some of the brake assemblies a bit, one is too far off the rail wheel.

I have put a Roden Opel Blitz Bus on it to give an idea of its size, its quite a long wagon. I have seen early war photos of this wagon type carrying 2 light tanks of the T-26 variety. The wagon could take a load up to 20 tonnes.

The bus won't stay on the wagon, I'll probably mount an AA gun on it

I'll post more pictures as the paint job progresses

cheers
Neil

Nice progress Fred and nylyall keep it up guys
@ Nylyall I love that Opel bus to bad no one makes it in 1/35
I made some progress on my track bed. I cut the sides off the center and glued that onto a wood and Styrofoam base. I then covered the Styrofoam with wall Spackle and then added the rock ballast to that
Photobucket
I have one side complete now and hope to get to the other side tomorrow

All,
Nice work on everyones projects.
Looking at the various builds makes me feel like I've made sod all progress , yep I'm still slowly marking out and cutting the multitude of bits for my build (about 70 done just another 300 to go ).

Taking a few weeks off work so hopefully there might be some progress to the extent it might even resemble a train .

Hope everyones projects are going as planned.

OK, after several months of figure-only painting I'm back with Kriegslock BR52.
Sal have seen some of my previous work in progress photos so here are only last ones, up to date photos (actually these are from before the weekend, I've managed to almost finish the upper part but I was too lazy to take a picture )

Sal: looks great. The painting of the ties looks very good.

Small progress on my flatbed. The tracks and ties are only in the railbed for alignment, as I don't intend to use the railbed itself. Now to start working on the "load".



Happy Modelling, -zon

No new pic's, but rest assured, it's coming together slowwwwwllllyy. So much stuff to do with the two buildings and all. Had to re-do the crane utility car as it was too big for the section of track that was left for it. Other than that, the gantry crane scratch build is really taking alot of time, and glue, and styrene, and patiance. Hope to have some new pic's next week for you to see and critique. Oh, and the computer took a dump again ( to the library I go ) so I have to figure out how to download on a memory chip or what ever those things are.

I do hope there is another Military Railroad Campaign soon or within the next year! This one has had so many really cool builds and fine examples too.

I just had too many things going on to join.

Puting these five elements together was a bit challenging:


But I finally made it

I can see with the pieces laid out like that where the challenge would be but you appeared to have done just fine

Zon and Andrzej nice progress guys I'm looking forward to seeing some more progress

What happened to all the other really interesting builds

My build has frozen totally, too much everything else in life disturbing right now.. work, son's soccerteam, WoT. I know, there's not too much reference pics about my subject but still I've managed to gather too much stress and pressure for the final result. 7 months to go but I still fear this will end up unfinished campaign..

Seven months left? Nah, I better not try it.

I'll just wait for the next Campaign like this. This has been a very interesting one to say the least and I want to build a Military Railroad vehicle soon!!
